gvf imagines (emotional)

shooting range

being in a band is really fun! really! it's great but sometimes greta van fleet just needs a moment to cool off and get their emotions out! one way they do this is by going to the shooting range! they usually do it an hour before they start their shows so they can be calm and collected before they perform. today they were getting their feelings out before their show in saginaw, michigan!

"man i love it here. it's way better than punching josh like a punching bag" jake said while putting on the noise blocking headphones.

"so true. it started getting weird seeing him giggle every time i punched him" sam added.

"you think that's weird? at least he didn't moan when you punched him once" danny said and shivered at the memory.

before the others even finished getting ready josh had already strapped up and got ready to go! he looked at the target for a moment. it was shaped like a circle. boring!

"can i get a different target?" he asked the worker.

"sure what kind?"

"one shaped like something evil so i feel like i'm doing good for the world," josh said with a smile.

the worker nodded and went to the target to switch it out for another one. it was shaped exactly like josh. no seriously pointy hair and everything. before he could say anything though the guy left so josh just went along with it. weird

on the other hand jake also used the josh shaped target and hit it perfectly in the head each time!! he's so good at this it brings a tear to his brothers' eyes. josh looked over to see what the others were doing; danny was shooting at the round target hitting it in the bullseye every time. however, sam was holding his gun with one hand and his phone with the other, looking at his phone because he was making a tiktok lip syncing creep by radiohead while terribly firing the gun with the other hand. seriously?! he's so selfish

josh took a deep breath. he felt unusually nervous?

"i can do this" he whispered to himself before popping his neck. it sounded like stepping on fruit loops. weird

josh slowly raised his gun at the target and narrowed one eye, taking another deep breath while fixing his aim. i can do this, he thought again, the energies in this room are good and will help me!

so then he fired the gun, squeezing his eyes shut. but it didn't feel very powerful. he opened his eyes in confusion. there were no holes in the target. confused he pulled the trigger again. no bullets came out. aw man

"what the heck?" josh mumbled and turned the gun towards his face to look into the barrel.

"JOSH NO!" danny shouted but josh didn't really hear much because of the headphones.

"WHAT?" he yelled back

"DONT TURN THE GUN TOWARDS YOURSELF"

"WHAT"

"DONT—"

josh accidentally farted and startled himself, causing his finger to slip and push the trigger. BANG!!!!

the entire gun range was quiet for several moments. what just happened? josh slowly opened his eyes and discovered that he was on the floor. sitting up he felt his face to see if he hurt himself. nope he felt fine! nobody was even helping him so whatever! he must be fine! anyways he farted again so he probably needed to go to the bathroom.

"i'll be right back guys" josh said and out the gun up before going to the bathroom.

thirty four minutes later the stall finally opened. josh felt a little guilty cause there was no room spray but whatever. he walked up to wash his hands. before he left, however, he looked up at himself in the mirror and let out a horrifying scream. it seems he wasn't actually perfectly fine after that incident!! no not at all. there was a massive chunk missing from his hair!! he looked like the dear david guy only the dent is in his hair instead. what!!!

"oh god oh fuck!!" he exclaimed, nervously running to get toilet paper and wrap it around his hair like a headband. he ran back out to the boys "guys we have to go now. it's an emergency"

"what? but we just got here" jake said.

josh looked around nervously before slightly moving the toilet paper enough to show the gap in his hair. all three of the boys gasped.

"that's not good! we have a show in 30 minutes josh!" danny exclaimed.

"i know! what do i do guys im so scared!"

"okay okay calm down. let's go to the venue and see what your mom can do about it," danny said.

they all agreed and tried to stay calm as they went to the venue. backstage josh got dressed. when he walked out of the dressing room he saw everyone talking to each other like nothing was wrong so he tried to play it cool.

"hey guys are you ready for the show?" josh asked his bandmates.

karen looked at josh and noticed the toilet paper on his head. "oh what's that honey?"

"i was watching porn and tripped because i wasn't paying attention" he blurted out. damn wtf why did i have to say that of all things? luckily karen didn't believe him. she sighed and reached up for his head, removing the toilet paper. her face went blank and josh started sobbing. "it's bad isn't it?! it's so bad huh"

"no, no, it's... it's... fine! you can barely notice it!"

everyone backstage looked off into the distance at an imaginary camera like they were in the office.

"you know what, let's just try some of jakes clip in extensions and see what we can do," she said.

"but mom we go on in five minutes!"

"we can do our best!"

she went to jakes extensions and took one of them, quickly curling it then placing it carefully in joshs hair. he gulped.

"there! it looks... great!"

josh looked into the mirror. a weight lifted off of his chest even though the extension didn't match at all. in fact it was a different color and three times as long as his actual hair so it was just hanging there. but at least you couldn't see the chunk missing from his hair!

"thanks so much mommy you're the best mom ever. i'm ready to get out there! let's go boys!"

the boys hesitantly went out with him. the show started off great until the flames came! josh smelled something burning but didn't realize the extensions caught on fire and burned into nothing! he didn't notice it though so he continued the show with confidence.

he didn't know about the incident until he saw a picture of himself on perez hilton's blog while trying to get the daily news about drake. his heart dropped when he saw his hair!! it was a disaster! NOOO!!!

"aw man😞 i will never show my face in public again" he vowed.

later that day he showed his face in public. however he had shaved off all of his hair and replaced it with a bob ross wig! looks like some things really do work out in the end!
